[B42] Ammo Reloading Toolset (Realistic)
99 Comments
Hello guys, I do not know how well or worse this mod worked in the past but state of today, 13th of August 2025, this mod will 100 percent crash your game, regardless of starting a new game or using a save game. Consequently: CAUTION!!! Took me one day to figure it out, -_-.

Eyyy I have updated this mod to work with Build 42.1 by fixing missing items and recipes. If Deon updates the original, I'll remove my fix. here the link {LINK REMOVED}

Don´t install this mod as of right now it crashes your game.

shotgun shell mold item causes crash, something about broken or missing world definitions i think.

It crash the game...

a suggestion would be to allow copper to be turned into copper scrap to be turned into bullet casings; irl copper casings are used for rounds like .223, 5.45, & 7.62

Is this compatible with B41?

I really liked this mod and wanted to play with it in Build 42 so badly that I decided to fix it. I played for several days, and it worked fine. I tried to contact Deon via Discord, but he didn’t accept my request, so I figured others might also want to play it. As I said, I will delete the GitHub repository once Deon updates the mod :spiffo:

Surprisingly, 42.2 update didnt broke any of the mods i am using
DerTodlichEngel Jan 27 @ 4:55pm 
Awesome mod, but yeah; it might be a minute on this one. CTD and lots of content to update i'm sure.

Game crashes to desktop, still love the work.

@Deon I'm sorry for whatever stress you might be under with the new updates especially given the quantity of amazing mods you've been producing. At least that's been my experience :lunar2019laughingpig:
I keep wanting to make my own reloading mod but it's hard to justify because I love the way you've implemented this already! Feel free to dm me if you'd like some help getting it updated, this is definitely my preferred reloading mod and I'd be happy to help. If nothing else I'm just dropping by to Thank You for all your hard work, love to see it! :spiffo:
Batman-[FR] Jan 24 @ 12:27am 
Hi @Deon, i can help you if you want :) give me the repository and i'll make some MR

Confirmed, when starting a new game with this mod we get a "Sorry cannot load' screen, and when trying to launch the game with -debug the game gets a black screen and crashes to desktop. Will have to wait for an update to use this mod again sadly.

After the 1.22 major update, it will be impossible to log in to the game.
Batman-[FR] Jan 22 @ 6:09am 
all bullets mold recipes & items has been tagged obsolete :x
Batman-[FR] Jan 22 @ 5:57am 
it's because ShotgunShellsMold item is obsolete now (see the file items_obsolete.txt in the game dir)

B42.1's crafting update makes this mod CTD the game on launch unfortunately.

ALSO, would extremely appreciate an update that supports the new calibers from: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2256623447&searchtext=firearms

This mod is honestly super fun, appreciate it!
Rachel L Jan 21 @ 4:30pm 
it seems that the b42.1 update broke this.

@Deon ☣
Love to see Guns of 93 on the list ❤️
Have a look at this one that adds spent casings on the ground for those guns if you haven’t already, might be a fit?

Hola amigo, intente convertir una bateria en trozos de plomo y la bateria al parecer era infinita, no se consumia. Gracias:spiffo:

How dare you be busy with life?!? :p

@Deon ☣
Oh my bad lol, didn't notice you mode:keep'd it lol
Deon ☣  [author] Jan 8 @ 8:45am 
It does not take 11 charcoal.
You keep charcoal for smelting chunks. Charcoal cannot be removed in 1/10 increments, so you just "need to have it".
ThisIsName Jan 8 @ 8:35am 
@Deon ☣
Yeah I know it would take 10 of the same bullets, but you usually get them in pack of 20/50 anyway so it shouldn't be an issue.
if you want to keep chunks please considering changing it to simple hammering instead of smelting, currently it takes 11 [charcoal] to smelt 1 lead scrap. That's ridiculous
Deon ☣  [author] Jan 8 @ 8:13am 
Mini update:
- Fix to the error in the lead chunks to lead scrap ratio, thanks to ThisIsName.
Deon ☣  [author] Jan 8 @ 8:11am 
Hm, it should require 10 chunks, but I think Base.Base. typo did it. Let me fix it ASAP.
Deon ☣  [author] Jan 8 @ 8:06am 
> I'd also recommend ommiting chunks at all and making it straight 10 bullets = 1 scrap lead, using kg of charcoal to melt every bullet individually is meh

10 bullets -> 1 scrap lead will require you to have 10 SAME bullets
ThisIsName Jan 8 @ 8:00am 
Or! You might want to drop only smelting cores into chunks part, refactor your production chain a little bit into:
Disassemble ammo -> Hammer cores into chunks -> Smelt Chunks into Scrap -> Smelt scrap into cores
ThisIsName Jan 8 @ 7:57am 
I'd also recommend ommiting chunks at all and making it straight 10 bullets = 1 scrap lead, using kg of charcoal to melt every bullet individually is meh
ThisIsName Jan 8 @ 7:55am 
Thanks for the update! You forgot a 0 in chunk -> scrap recipe tho, goes 1:1 atm
Deon ☣  [author] Jan 8 @ 6:19am 
Update
- Added "scrap lead chunk" item.
- Added unique icons to scrap lead chunk and scrap lead.
- You can melt bullet cores into scrap lead chunks in a furnace.
- You can melt 10 scrap lead chunks into 1 scrap lead in a furnace.

Added translations for:
AR, CA, CH, CN, CS, DA, DE, ES, FI, FR, HU, ID, IT, JP, KO, PL, PT, PTBR, RO, RU, UA
ThisIsName Jan 8 @ 1:08am 
Nevermind, noticed you were looking at bullet recycling yourself.
ThisIsName Jan 8 @ 1:07am 
Hey! Do you mind If I throw up an addon for your mod? I started a recycling mod and was thinking about recycling unwanted bullet cores for lead.
Deon ☣  [author] Jan 7 @ 12:21pm 
They were, but then people noticed that in Vanilla you make them from iron, so it doesn't work that well :).
anitachall Jan 7 @ 10:27am 
Any possibility of doorknobs being scrap-able into brass?
Deon ☣  [author] Jan 7 @ 4:34am 
Fix:
- Reduced 1/5/10 options to 1 (you can use slider in B42).
- Fixed the amount of gunpowder returned on ammo disassembly.
Deon ☣  [author] Jan 7 @ 4:19am 
Checking the reported issue.
ThisIsName Jan 7 @ 4:15am 
Also any plans for other guns mods compat?
